Chapter 92 Li Rong: You are old now, and you are no longer straightforward and quick-tempered

“Eat fish!”

Luo Xinxin picked up a piece of fish meat from the belly and gave it to her. It was tender and delicious, the most delicious part of the fish.

"The fish here is quite fresh, and the corn tortillas are delicious too. This is my first time eating it this way, it's really new."

Old Mrs. Luo took a bite of the tortilla and the taste was beyond her imagination. It was unexpectedly delicious and extremely fresh with the fish soup.

"This is a Northeastern way of cooking. People there like to stew things in a big pot. They stew chicken with mushrooms, stew goose, stew pork with vermicelli, stew pork ribs with beans and potatoes. They also like to stick pancakes on the side of the pot. It tastes very good."

When Luo Weian was young, he often went to the Northeast to purchase medicinal materials, and he was familiar with the local customs and practices there.

"The mink fur over there is quite good, what a pity."

Old Mrs. Luo sighed. She had several fine mink coats, all of which were brought by Luo Weian from the Northeast. Unfortunately, they were confiscated by those people, who said they were poisonous weeds of the bourgeoisie and needed to be cut off.

"The sheepskin here is also good. I'll get a few pieces when the weather gets cold." Luo Xinxin said.

"Sheepskin coats aren't as good-looking as mink. I have a white mink coat that your grandfather went to great lengths to get. It's really beautiful!"

Old Mrs. Luo spoke with a nostalgic tone. That pure white mink coat was her favorite and brought her a lot of attention. Unfortunately, it was also cut off by those people.

"Then you can wear your own skins to get through the winter!"

Luo Xinxin was too lazy to indulge her and just confronted her directly.

"Xinxin, the sheepskin is fine. At this time, it's no use caring about whether it looks good or not. As long as I can survive, that's all that matters."

Luo Weian kicked his old wife hard under the table. Old Mrs. Luo came to her senses and quickly said, "I'm wearing sheepskin too. If I don't, I'll freeze to death."

"I'm working hard to get rid of the hat in the front. I don't ask you to help me, but you must not hold me back. Otherwise, I will immediately break off the relationship with you and don't care if you live or die."

Luo Xinxin's tone was very serious. She intuitively felt that there would be good news this year, and there absolutely could not be any mistakes.

"I know, Xinxin, we will definitely make progress together with you." Luo Weian promised.

"Me too, I cut three baskets of grass today!" Old Mrs. Luo also said.

"You only cut three of the six baskets of grass you were assigned. Do you think you're making progress or regressing?"

Luo Xinxin said sarcastically that if she couldn't buy fodder in the mall, the ten sheep in her family would have starved to death.

"You have to eat one bite at a time. I've never even picked onions before. Now I can cut three baskets of grass, which is a big improvement." Old Mrs. Luo defended in a low voice.

She felt that she was so amazing. When she was in Shanghai, she couldn't even dream of having three baskets of grass.

Luo Xinxin rolled her eyes at her and assigned Luo Weian a task: "Don't sit idle in the clinic every day. The harvest is coming soon, and there will definitely be many people suffering from heatstroke and injuries in the fields. Don't wait for patients to come to you. You have to take the initiative to find patients in the fields."

"Got it. I'll go to the fields tomorrow."

Luo Weian suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened, and decided to go out and find patients tomorrow.

Luo Xinxin was holding a small meeting at home, and there was also a meeting at the army, and the topic of the meeting was her.

The meeting was chaired by Deputy Commander Cui, Li Rong was also present, as well as several leaders of the armed forces.

"Comrade Luo Xinxin is indeed a sharpshooter. Her excellent shooting skills can even rival those of Dong Yingxiong back then!"

The speaker was the second-in-command of the armed forces. The hero he was talking about was Dong, an outstanding sniper during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He single-handedly shot and killed hundreds of enemies and was awarded the title of combat hero.

The second-in-command strongly agrees with the special recruitment of Luo Xinxin into the army, but many people oppose it, and currently the number of votes against is greater than the number of votes in favor.

"I don't agree to let Luo Xinxin join the army. She's a poseur and her family has overseas connections. Who knows if this is an enemy conspiracy."

"Indeed, the enemy is insidious and cunning, and it's hard to guard against them. Luo Xinxin is very likely a venomous snake they have cultivated. We can't be paralyzed by them."

Others also expressed their opposition to the special recruitment of Luo Xinxin.

"If Luo Xinxin was part of the enemy's conspiracy, then the cost to them was too high. Luo Xinxin disrupted the enemy's operations twice, saving the base's scientists and confidential projects. They could have easily destroyed the base, but they went through so much trouble and sacrificed more than a dozen enemy agents just to send Luo Xinxin to confuse us?"

Li Rong couldn't help but speak.

Before coming to the Northwest Military Region, he warned himself that he must keep his mouth shut in meetings and that silence is golden, so as not to offend anyone again.

But today he still couldn't help it. These people were really too smart and made simple things so complicated.

"Perhaps they are brewing a bigger conspiracy? Deputy Battalion Commander Li, you are still too young to understand how bad the enemy is!"

An elderly man made the accusation in a condescending manner. He was the deputy director of the political and educational department of the military region and the main force opposing Luo Xinxin's joining the army.

"Deputy Director Liu is quite old and indeed knowledgeable. He also has a lot of experience in dealing with the enemy. I am far inferior to him."

Li Rong's attitude was very sincere, but what he said made Deputy Director Liu change his expression.

Because Deputy Director Liu is a civilian, he rarely leads troops in battle and has zero combat experience.

Deputy Director Liu's face was a little gloomy, and he looked at Li Rong with a gloomy look, and he took this matter to heart.

"Since you can't agree, I suggest this: observe Comrade Luo Xinxin for another six months. If you find no problems, report this to your superiors and have her removed. How do you think that is?"

Deputy Commander Cui also supports Luo Xinxin's joining the army in his heart, but he cannot have the final say and must practice democracy.

"Isn't half a year too short? It should be three years." Deputy Director Liu raised an objection.

"The enemy has survived for three years!"

Li Rong couldn't help but retort that this Deputy Director Liu was the person he disliked the most in the Northwest Military Region. He was not good at ideological work, and he liked to meddle in other people's affairs and show off his presence everywhere.

If he hadn't been senior enough and hadn't participated in the 25,000 event, he would have said something more vicious.

"puff"

Someone chuckled, and Deputy Director Liu's face became even gloomier. He glanced around warningly. Everyone was sitting upright with a blank expression, and it was impossible to tell who was laughing.

He looked at Li Rong and said with a forced smile, "Deputy Battalion Commander Li is indeed a young man, speaking his mind. I remember when I was young, I had the same personality as you."

"So now you are old and you are not as straightforward and quick-tempered as before."

Li Rong spoke faster than his brain. After he finished speaking, everyone else silently gave him a thumbs up.

He even dared to confront Deputy Director Liu. He is indeed a great man who was "demoted" by the Shanghai Military Region!

Although Deputy Director Liu is engaged in political and educational work, he is extremely narrow-minded and two-faced. Many people have suffered from him, but they can't do anything about it because he holds a high position and has a lot of experience.

"Today's meeting ends here, adjourned!"

Deputy Commander Cui decisively ended the meeting. If it continued, he was afraid that Liu would be petty and make things difficult for Li Rong.

Although Li Rong is a bad-mouthed kid, he is really capable. He has only been here for a month and has already made two achievements. He wants to focus on training this kid, but he can't let Liu's narrow-mindedness ruin him.

Deputy Director Liu's full name is Liu Xiaoxin, and his nickname is Liu Xiaoxin, which was given to him by Deputy Commander Cui. The two of them didn't get along well, but they didn't fall out.
